Pit Volume Measurement in Pixpro Photogrammetry

Volumetric measurements are a staple use case for photogrammetry. When it comes to negative volumes such as pits, basins, or valleys - things become even more straightforward than measuring piles of mounds of material.

Multi Camera Photogrammetry in Pixpro

Using two or more cameras in a single scan provides better coverage, detail, and convenience. But it also poses a few challenges. In this blog post, we will go over the fundamentals of combining two or more different imagery sources to get a successful 3D reconstruction in one go.

Comparing Surfaces in Pixpro Part 1 - Creating Custom GCPs

Comparing surfaces from photogrammetric scans is a ubiquitous workflow in some industries. Our Pixpro photogrammetry software allows us to compare a few surfaces in a uniquely easily accessible manner.

Drone Rules and Regulations - Worldwide Fundamentals

Drones are toys, tools, and entertainment. For whatever purpose you use a drone - there are rules and regulations. These rules are becoming more mature, and everyone should understand what is allowed and how you should operate your flying machine.

RAW Photo Processing for Photogrammetry

Input data is the most critical factor in photogrammetry, bar none. If we want to maximize the quality and flexibility of the photos we take for 3D reconstruction - we must do initial capture in raw format. In essence, the raw format provides all the valuable and redundant data captured by the imagi

Human Photogrammetry with a Single Camera

Scanning a human being is quite a famous photogrammetry use case nowadays, from getting scans for fun to replicate yourself in 3D space to high-end CGI and medical applications. Often, you see people captured in multi-camera rigs, where photos are taken from all camera positions simultaneously.

Tower Inspection With Photogrammetry

Inspection and photogrammetric capture is the perfect combination for data acquisition and analysis. Inspection is often done and associated with real-time work - looking around with the help of specific equipment and your eyes. Photogrammetric capture provides data that will remain as long as you n
